When installing the first dust cover 11, the dust cover gasket 35 is preferably inserted into the installation groove of the outer wall of the casing 8, and the first dust cover 11 is inserted into the installation groove of the outer wall of the dust cover gasket 35. The end of the upper cover 3 is provided with a mounting groove that matches the top of the first dust cover 11, and then fixed by two clamps; the mounting assembly at the lower end of the first dust cover 11 is installed from the inside to the outside according to Next is the casing 8, the dust cover gasket 35, the second dust cover 12, and the clamp; the second dust cover 12 is fixed to the casing 8 and the lower base 2 by clamping, and the radial direction of the second dust cover 12 and the casing 8 and the lower base 2 is interference fit. In order to ensure the radial contact width of the second dust cover 12 at the clamping part, the wall thickness of the second dust cover 12 at the clamping parts at both ends is increased, and a corrugated part is provided between the two ends of the second dust cover 12. The thickness of the two ends of the second dust cover 12 is greater than the thickness of the corrugated part, which can improve the clamping strength.

The first dust cover 11 and the second dust cover 12 can be installed by clamping or clamping; if the first dust cover 11 and the casing 8 are fixed by clamping, a labyrinth vent is required at the clamping structure of the first dust cover 11. The shape of the vent cannot be a straight-through type, and it needs to be designed as a bending type. The specific structure is not limited; if the first dust cover 11 and the upper seat 1 are fixed by clamping, the width of the clamping groove of the first dust cover 11 needs to be greater than or equal to the width of the clamping part of the upper seat 1, and the diameter of the clamping groove of the first dust cover 11 should be less than or equal to the diameter of the clamping part of the upper seat 1.

The upper cover 3 and the bearing seat 9 are installed by clamping. After the air spring is assembled to the whole vehicle, the axial height of the bearing 10 will be compressed due to pressure. Therefore, the clamping part of the upper top seat 1 and the bearing seat 9 should maintain a certain gap in the axial direction to avoid interference between the upper top seat 1 and the bearing seat 9 after the bearing 10 is compressed.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the solenoid valve 5 is connected to a wiring harness assembly 40, which extends from the upper top seat 1, and a dust plug 42 is provided on the wiring harness assembly 40.

The dust plug 42 is interference-fitted with the upper top seat 1, so that the wiring harness assembly 40 is fixed on the upper top seat 1.
[0039] The working principle is as follows: the inner cavity of the air spring is composed of a first chamber 13 and a second chamber 14. The air pressure of the gas in the first chamber 13 is adjusted through the gas channel to make the bladder skin 7 reciprocate in the axial direction along the piston 6; the first chamber 13 and the second chamber 14 are connected under the opening and closing action of the solenoid valve 5 to expand the volume of the inner cavity of the air spring. At the same time, under the connection action of the combined chamber 20 formed by the first groove 18 and the second groove 19 and the second chamber 14, the volume of the inner cavity of the air spring is further expanded, thereby expanding the adjustment range of the air spring stiffness to meet the air spring stiffness required by the car in different driving modes, so that the car can adapt to different driving conditions and ensure the riding comfort of passengers.
[0040] The double-chamber air spring structure divides the inner cavity of the air spring into two chambers. The connection and disconnection of the first chamber 13 and the second chamber 14 are realized by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 5, so that the stiffness of the air spring can be adjusted, and the problem of the single-chamber air spring stiffness being unadjustable is solved. A combined chamber 20 connected to the second chamber 14 is also designed at the connection between the upper cover 3 and the lower cover 4, ensuring that the second chamber 14 can reach the required design theoretical volume, which can adapt to different driving modes of the car and improve the comfort of passengers. A bearing 10 structure is added to the upper top seat 1, and the torsion generated during the working process of the air spring is borne by the bearing 10, which solves the problem of torsion failure of the air spring bladder skin when the shock absorber and the air spring are split structures. The double-chamber air spring structure has a reasonable structural design, reliable connection between the components, stable and firm component installation, convenient assembly, simple process, compact structure, and can reduce application costs.
